Sony: XXX Blu-ray is OK

WASHINGTON — Sony has officially said that adult content on Blu-ray is OK with them. Kind of.
"There's no prohibition against adult content," Sony spokesperson Lisa Gephardt said. "We don't tell people how they can use the licenses they get from the Blu-ray Disc Association."
The announcement comes near what appears to be the end of the latest format war, this one between HD-DVD and Blu-ray. In the adult industry, only Vivid is going forward with Blu-ray, though they're planning to offer their titles on both formats.
Corruption director Bo Kenney told XFANZ that as soon as he heard that his company, Sex Z Pictures, would have to get a license from Sony to offer movies on Blu-ray, their decision was made.
"[W]e said, 'Forget about it,'" Kenney said.
Digital Playground co-founder Joone said that his company originally wanted to go with Blu-ray but had to switch to HD-DVD because they couldn't find a company that would put adult movies on Blu-ray disks.
But after hearing about the announcement from Sony, Joone told XFANZ he would give the format another shot.
"Oh, yeah, I'll definitely [call Sony] again," Joone said. "I'd like to call them and ask who can [put adult movies on Blu-ray]."
Joone said that he asked eight companies in four countries to reproduce Blu-ray disks for Digital Playground. They all said no.
Meanwhile, Warner Bros. officially unveiled its dual-format high-definition disk at this year's Consumer Electronics Show (CES). The disks include HD-DVD content on one side and Blu-ray on the other. They're calling it the Total Hi Def.
Right now, only New Line Entertainment and HBO are planning to support the Total Hi Def format.
